Abstract Seed size/weight plays an important role in determining crop yield, yet only few genes controlling seed size have been characterized in soybean.Here, we perform a genome-wide association study and identify a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), named GmSW17 (Seed Width 17), on chromosome 17 that determine soybean seed width/weight in natu
ABSTRACTEnterovirus D68 (EV-D68) contributes significantly to pathogen-induced respiratory illnesses and severe neurological disorders like acute flaccid myelitis.We lack EV-D68 preventive measures, and knowledge of its molecular and cellular biology is incomplete.Multiple studies have highlighted the role of membrane compartments and autophagy dur
Here we describe seven new species of Limnophora from Ecuador: Limnophora bifasciata sp.nov.from Napo, Quito; Limnophora equatoriensis sp.nov.from Train Sets Zamora-Chinchipe, Zamora; Limnophora femurosetalis sp.nov.from Zamora-Chinchipe, Zamora; Limnophora lamasi sp.nov.from Zamora-Chinchipe, Zamora; Limnophora longivittata sp.nov.from Napo, Quito
Detonation initiation is a prerequisite to normal operations of an oblique detonation engine (ODE), and initiation-assistant measures are imperative in cases of initiation failure that occur in a length-limited combustor under wide-range flight conditions.This study numerically investigates the initiation characteristics of oblique detonation waves
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are a proven technology for energy storage systems, mobile electronics, power tools, aerospace, automotive and maritime applications.LiBs have attracted interest from Sandals academia and industry due to their high power and energy densities compared to other battery technologies.Despite the extensive usage of LiBs, the
